As snow and ice began to melt away Friday, local basketball and wrestling teams began to piece their schedules back together.

Most of the basketball games originally on Friday’s schedule were pushed to Saturday or Monday. All four Big South 2A/3A Conference matchups were rescheduled for Saturday, but the junior varsity games were canceled altogether to allow for earlier start times.

Matchups at Ashbrook (against Hunter Huss), Forestview (against East Gaston) and Lake Norman Charter (against North Gaston) will begin with the varsity girls at 2 and followed by the varsity boys. Stuart Cramer’s home matchups against South Point begin with the varsity girls at 1.

Playing these regular-season finales on Saturday allows the Big South to keep next week’s conference tournament as originally scheduled. The first round for boys and girls is Monday at higher seeds. The semifinals are set for Wednesday, with the boys at No. 1 seed Hunter Huss and the girls at No. 1 seed Lake Norman Charter. Both finals will be Friday at Hunter Huss.

In the Southern Piedmont 1A Conference, Bessemer City’s home game against Highland Tech was moved to Monday, as was Cherryville’s game at Thomas Jefferson, which will determine the boys league champion.

Also in the SPC, Lincoln Charter has two regular-season games still to play. The Eagles host Community School of Davidson on Saturday and travel to Pine Lake Prep on Monday.

Since the SPC will conclude the regular season Monday, the conference tournament has been pushed back from its original schedule. The first round (boys and girls) is Wednesday at higher seeds, the semifinals are Thursday at Cherryville and the finals are Friday at Cherryville.

In addition to the Big South JV games, the snow storm led to the cancellation of another event: the South Mountain Athletic Conference basketball tournament. The SMAC will instead use next week to make up regular-season games. In addition to Friday’s regular-season finales, the SMAC still had three other regular-season games that had yet to be played.

One of those matchups was Kings Mountain at Crest, which had been pushed back from the first snowfall two weeks ago and eventually was put on the schedule for this past Wednesday. That matchup has been rescheduled for Tuesday while Kings Mountain’s home regular-season finale against East Burke has been set for Thursday.

All of Friday’s regular-season basketball finales in the Southern District 7 2A Athletic Conference were rescheduled for Monday. Those games included Maiden at Lincolnton and West Lincoln at East Lincoln.

The SD7 basketball tournament will begin Tuesday with the boys and girls at higher seeds. Semifinals are Wednesday and Thursday at Catawba Valley Community College, and the finals are Friday at CVCC.

The 3A West regional wrestling tournament at North Gaston, originally scheduled to begin Friday, will be held Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, weigh-ins will begin at 1 p.m. and the wrestling will start at approximately 2. On Sunday, weigh-ins begin at 2, with the wrestling starting around 3.
